1. don't care what other people think about you

When you do that then you start doubting yourself and everything's just easier when you don't care

2. don't second guess yourself

Everything starts getting confusing when you do and usually your gut is right

3. don't be pressured to do stupid stuff

You'll just get caught

4. don't be an idiot

If you’re an idiot then whatever you do you’ll probably regret doing later

5. always ask questions if you don't understand something

Teachers won't get mad at you, they'll just get mad if you don't understand it after asking no questions

6. apples will help you wake up in the morning

Instead of getting hooked on coffee, apples do the same thing and they are healthier

7. go to bed as early as possible

At night you’ll want to stay up super late but in the morning every single time you'll regret it.

8. get a good group of friends

Get people around you with the same beliefs that won't pressure you to do bad things but encourage you to be the best that you can be

9. just have fun

It's better that way

i have been writing this peice for 7 years now. 3 years drafting, 1 year editing, 2 more years of drafting, and 1 year of publishing. this is probably my best peice of my profesional writing career with many hidden messages that are great to unpack. This really means alot to me because it describes my childhood where I was raised in the jungle by alpacas for 17 years with no human contact. This peice shows my stuggles and the challenges i had to overcome.
